...The technology could allow you to open a door without a key or have tech gadgets like smartphones and tablets unlock the second that you walk into a room. It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but experts say it is the wave of the future.

Nice. I'd definitely want that.

Oh, and every single type of new tech security they introduce can be hacked / copied eventually!
(This sounds very much like when cars were first fitted with "totally secure" remote control alarms/immobilisers, remember that??
The crooks just waited in car parks / parking lots with a "capture" device which recorded the transmissions from the remote alarm keyfob.
One press of a button later and they've exactly replicated the signal they've just captured, and can unlock and re-mobilise your pride and joy)

Ah well, that's me further up the hit list I guess?
